What will his family do when he dies?

What do you think Trump’s spawn (Jr, Ivanka, and Eric) will do when he finally kicks the bucket? I mean, look at what they allowed him to do when their mother died - burying her on a golf course.

It’s clear to me that they really don’t like Trump ( who does?). What will they allow Melania to do as far as his funeral and final resting place is concerned?

On second thought, they’ll probably find some way to either rip off the government or get the rubes to give them money for his burial.

I don’t want him to die anytime soon. I would rather he had some kind of debilitating condition that would allow his children to put him into some far away facility where he can marinate in his own feces for the next ten or fifteen years.

Jared will have his Saudi buddies.
Ivanka will have her Goya beans, copyrights, fashion knockoffs, and Jared.
Beavis and Butthead will have their Russian businesses.
And Tiffany will have her coush apartment - unless Melania or Barron wants it, of course. But isn’t her husband stupid wealthy? So yeah, who gives a shit.

My only hope is they all end up in prison. But it’s a foolish hope.

He obviously has his favorites, but I don’t think he’d trust any of them with free rein to direct his assets. I wonder who he feels he can trust to be trustee and follow his rules. Maybe we’ll see our first AI trustee built on the past statements and actions of the trustor? The estate planning, probate, and subsequent administration of the trust would make the best drama filled estate planning based tv show ever. Who knew Tiffany had it in her? Perhaps the second season could be Wills and Estates: Indictments, Disgorgement, and Covfefe.

if he kicked the bucket tomorrow. I'll be honest - I have no particular reason to believe that he will be treated with anything other than kid gloves for the rest of his life, because as the Epstein files are now revealing, the man has blackmail material on far too many people. That's how people like Trump operate.

So frame the OP question differently. What happens afterwards?
* Trump, Jr., is a cocaine addict, and has pretty much burned out any remaining brain cells.
* Eric is probably trying to be the favored child, no doubt plans a career in politics, but given everything else, I think he'll find it almost impossible to get out of Trump's shadow.
* Ivanka is far more focused on her businesses after getting burned back in Trump's first term, which is a big part of the reason she's all but disappeared in the last year.
* Tiffany just wants to be left alone.
* Barron played up the young heir apparent for a while, but frankly, I think he was forced into it by dear old dad.

Trump's fortunes are based largely on his ability to blackmail others, and the real danger for him from the Epstein files is that he is losing that ability as people are forced into the spotlight.

My gut feeling is that when daddy kicks the bucket, his estate is going to be entailed six ways to Sunday before his body is even interred. Yes, there will be squabbling over who gets what, but whether there's actually anything left by the time he's done remains to be seen . Truth Social will die with him. The bribes and "gifts" will come out in the inevitable investigation. Assets will likely be seized by multiple governments. His crypto accounts will likely fall to zero overnight because no one wants to get caught money laundering or passing bribes in the inevitable investigation. Most of his properties were sold long ago to cover other debts.

And they find proof of the rest of what he did with Epstein if they all get sued from a hundred different cases and lose most of their inheritances. It won't matter to the girls but the sons it will.

Well, Ivanka and Tiffany, anyway. I don't think their brothers are smart enough to do the same. They will also go after each others' throats, since they hate each other as much as they hate their father. I'm betting they all eventually wind up in prison, along with Lara and Jared. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if Beavis or Butthead got offed by someone they screwed over.

then charge people $1,000 a shot to touch the hem of his baggy trousers.

When the novelty of that wears off, it could be $1,000 to give him a bunch of fives in the kisser, $10,000 for a boot square in where his nuts were rumoured to be, or for the really kinky MAGAts, $100,000 for a night of total seclusion with his husk, no questions asked.

Tiny bits in acrylic for some obscene price. Easy grift, huge built in market.

Of course it will ultimately turn out the total volume of tiny bits is equivalent to the weight of all the Quarter Pounders served at a moderately busy McDonalds in a week. Easily hundreds of times the mass of the deceased. Of course it will be a scam. Of course the die-hard supporters will call math a lie, or the results proof of a miracle

As long as they find a few suckers . . . All of it will continue in a painfully slow cycle until they are displaced by some other force of idiocy working on behalf of the global oligarchy. The grift, the posturing, the circus, the mind-numbing stupidity . . . all of it.

The only thibg that I think will be immadiately diminished is their ability to inflict cruelty at scale, as they enjoy now. The rest will continue until their efforts find no purchase. Then, the Drumpfs of the future will have to find . . a JOB.
